It seems that former Life Guard and international crooner James Blunt had a bad experience trying to get to a morale boosting concert in Afghanistan.
On the face of it everything that could go wrong at the hands of the RAF did and the concert had to be cancelled.
As former air force officer (in my case the RAAF) it really hurts to hear these tales of woe. Being a fighter jock is great and glamorous but the real projection of strategic power in the sorts of conflicts we chose to fight these days can only be achieved by the so called “trash haulers”. But it appears that they aren’t very good at it. A big size 12 boot up the arse is definitely required here.
